Bab 367: Chapter 367: Jealousy

Charlotte insisted on standing guard outside my door while Sassafras, Liam and I talked over what happened and tried to make plans. Hard to do without having all the answers we needed. And really, my best plans usually involved just jumping in with all the fire power I could muster and hoping for the best.

Sassafras finally left us to go see Mom. We decided he was the best choice.

"Though I doubt she'll listen to me, either," he said. "But I'll try."

I felt a momentary pang of guilt over Meira. I'd promised I'd go visit her that night, but, with everything that was happening, I just couldn't. I sat on the edge of my bed, letting out a big gust of air and a gentle caress to my sister's mind.

Sorry, Meems. I have to bail on you.

It's okay. I could feel others with her, hear giggling. Sassy hadn't been kidding. Was my little sister turning into some kind of party maven? And on a school night?

Her laugh tinkled in my head as she caught my shock. Night, Mom. Another giggle.
